Although I have afflicted you, Judah, I will afflict you no more.Now I will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles away.” (niv)

Psalms 89:20-52
I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him.My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him.The enemy will not get the better of him; the wicked will not oppress him.I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries.My faithful love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted.I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.He will call out to me,‘ You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.’And I will appoint him to be my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail.I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.“ If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness— and I will not lie to David—that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.”But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.You have renounced the covenant with your servant and have defiled his crown in the dust.You have broken through all his walls and reduced his strongholds to ruins.All who pass by have plundered him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle.You have put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with a mantle of shame.How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all humanity!Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?Lord, where is your former great love, which in your faithfulness you swore to David?Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,the taunts with which your enemies, Lord, have mocked, with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.Praise be to the Lord forever! Amen and Amen. (niv)

The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. (niv)
